ALVIN C. BUSBY AND WILLIAM I-I. HEDDEN, OF ELLENSBURG, WASHINGTON.

CENTRIFUGAL MACHINE.

Application led December 10, 1910.

Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ALVIN C. BUsBY and VILLIAM H. HEBBEN, citizens of the United States, residing at Ellensburg, in the county of Kittitas and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Centrifugal Machines; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in juice extractors and comprises a simple and efiicient device of this nature having various details of const-ruction and combinat-ions and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

We illust-rate our invention in the accompanying drawings, in which:-

Figure l is a vertical sectional view centrally through our improved fruit extracting apparatus, and Fig. 2 is a crosssectional view.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a receptacle having handles A thereon and a nose A2. A shell, designated by letter B, is adapted to telescope within the upper end of the receptacle and is provided with a rib B adapted to rest upon the upper edge of the receptacle to form a support for the shell. Said shell has a transversely disposed bar D at its lower end from which projects upward a lug D, forming a pivot for the rotatable cylinder E which has a circumference made up of a screen and also has screen covered openings E in its bottom. The upper end of the cylinder E has an inwardly and upwardly turned flange F, and pins F project from the inner surface of the upright portion of the flange at points diametrically opposite and horizontally disposed and are adapted to engage Slots K formed at positions diametrically opposite each other in the flange K of the cover K2, which latter has a central angular outlined opening Q. The upper portion N of the cylinder E and with which said flange F is an integral part is supported by the rods R fastened at their lower ends to the bottom of the cylinder E and their upper ends to the inner face of said portion N. A flanged 'cover J fits over the top of the shell B and has journaled in a centrally disposed aperture therein a rotatable shaft I, said shaft being ournaled in a standard I rising from the cover J. Said shaft is angular in cross section and is adapted to engage the angular outlined opening in the cover K2, forming means whereby the cylinder E may be rotated with its cover, the slots in the flange of the latter engaging the pins on the flange of the cylinder E, causing the latter to rotate. A pinion wheel T is fixed to said shaft and is in mesh with the teeth of the gear wheel S fastened to the horizontally disposed crank shaft S, which latter is journaled in suitable bearings upon said standard.

The operation of our invention will be readily understood and is as follows z-The fruit from which the juice is to be extracted is placed within the cylinder E with its circumference made of a screen andA a rapid rotary movement imparted to said cylinder'` E by the turning of the crank will cause the juices to be thrown outby centrifugal motion and, straining through the screen and the circumference and bottom of the cylinder E, will fall into the receptacle below where it may be cooked by heat applied thereto.

What we claim to be new is An apparatus for extracting juices from fruits, etc., comprising two receptacles, one telescoping within the other, the upper of the receptacles having a circumferential flange resting upon the upper marginal edge of the latter, a closure for the upper receptacle, a bar fastened to said closure and having upright portions, a shaft journaled in the latter', a gear wheel fixed to the shaft, a vertically disposed shaft journaled in parallel portions of the bar and passing through said closure, a pinion upon said vertically our signatures in the presence of tWo Witdisposed shaft in mesh with said gear Wheel, nesses.

a pvot pin mounted upon the bottom of the ALVIN C. BUSBY.

upper receptacle, a rotatable Screen cylinder /VILLIAM H. HEDDEN.

mounted upon said pivotal pin, and a Vtnesses:

flanged closure mounted upon said cylinder. FITTIEN FRANK, A
